In my case it was... complicated. Turns out that after upgrade to 18.04 wayland was on by default for me. prime-select intel worked fine prime-select nvidia gdm would not show
Changing wayland to xorg in gdm (with intel) would not work - login screen just kept reapearing. Forcing xorg through /etc/gdm3/custom.conf only made it worse. In the end I have decided to try and unplug my DP cable from the mainboard and plug it into the gfx card. This has worked. After the reboot GDM has showed up and only xorg was available (I have switched to xorg before I swapped the cable, though). No reverse prime for me :( Hopefuly plymouth works with nvidia these days or this gets fixed soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752053 Title: nvidia-390 fails to boot graphical display Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I'm using Bionic with the new 4.15 kernel. I've been using the nvidia-384 driver with no problem for a while. Today I issued "sudo apt-get upgrade" and I was prompted to upgrade the nvidia driver to the nvidia-390. After installing the driver and rebooting, I was only able to boot in to the tty terminal. The graphical display failed to boot. I have had similar problems with nvidia driver version 390 with Arch Linux and with Open Suse Tumbleweed.
